diagnose: empty (probably the engine run on 1-0.5 qt)
he walk with me 1/3 mile to the nearest Autozone, show me some 1gal 5w30, and a Fram orange with the "grip". I bought them
He walk me back, pulls out his toolbox, and walks me (supervise me) trough changing the oil...
I scraped copious amounts on the tight space, but the "grip" made it nice to put the new filter back in.
He made sure I first oiled the gasket and the thread and check if the previous gasket didn't remain...
He's a happy Canadian now
P.S. he show me and made me do it (with his same own tools) , how to change the brake pads and rotors....
That's what I call a good neighbor!.
